CYCLONE SPARK ARRESTER.
WHITE OAK, S. G., January5, 1ss

WHITE OAK, S. G., January5, 1887.
MIR. @. J. HOKE: have been using your
N "Cyclone Spark Arrester," and find it
first-class arrangement. I first used it on 6
horse power with l2-inch stack, and found that
a bunch of lint cotton held over the stack could
not be fired with the greatest speed could give
the engine while threshing. Then, this Fall,
bought an 8 horse power Tanner & Delaney engine
with 9-inch stack, and when ginning at night
was unable to stir the fire in the furnace enough
to make spark 60 out of the stack. Finding
that needed more draught you remember you
opened the smoke-stack wider and put on T.
inch saddle and stack. That gives me draught
enough to lift water IS feet to feed the boiler and
work the gin all at the same time, and to blow off
steam at the pop-valve at 100 pounds. I have
ginned some half dozen bales of cotton after
night. and as far as any fire from the stack is to
be seen you would not know there was any near
it. On one occasion, the night was so dark that
only the outline of the stack could be traced
from the side of the engine room, and yet there
was no sign of sparks from the top Of the stack.
I have had the fire stirred upside down and
find that the cinders getting through come out
black and dead, while the Goals fall back drown
ed out and finally burn to ashes, in the smoke
box. would not sell mine for 800, if I could
not get another like it, While a half dozen gin
houses around me have been on fire during the
dry weather, mine has escaped. I, therefore,
give you an unqualified endorsement OF my
"Cyclone Spark Arrester." I think can sell
half dozen around here. Very respectfully,
J. NJ. GALLOWAY,

ELASTIC GUN WADDING.

VUyHE undersigned begs leave to call attention
to the MERINO ELASTIC FELT GUN
WADDING, the only perfectly safe wadding for
choke-bore breech-loading shot guns. BY the
use of this wad the recoil of gun is essened the
distribution of the shot is more regular, and the
range and penetration are greater. Another ad-
vantage is that the gun is kept cleaner than
when any other wad is used. Try them. They
are put up in boxes holding 256 wads and are
made in two grades. The price for the first grade
is forty cents per box the second grade twenty
five cents. The first grade should be used over
the powder-the second grade over the shot.
The first grade wads are from one.half to three
eights Of an inch in thickness, which makes them
cheaper than any other wad in the market, as
only one of the first grade wads is ne2essary on
the powder, and one of the second grade over
the shot, to give the best results. If you use a
IL gauge gun with brass shells, buy No. wads:
For paper shells use No. IL wads. For guns OF
different gauge, for brass shells, use wad three
sizes larger than the bore; Tor paper sheffsS one
size larger. BY this means the gases from the
powder will be perfectly confined and the very
best results obtained.
Sample boxes will I've sent by mail on receipt
of forty cents for the first grade and twenty-five
cents for the second grade. Address,

GEORGE c. JORDAN, General Agent.
yUyHE immense amount of Life Insurance car
ried in this country makes it of National
Importance that heads of families should be able
to secureit as cheaply as possible consistent with
safety. Especially is this necessary for the mil
lions of men in moderat. circumstances, who
must earn their living by hard knocks and in
the face of competition that is becoming Keen
er and sharper every day.
If life insurance is not safe it is not worth car
rying, and if it is TOO costly, the men who most
need it cannot carry it all. How to make it both
safe and cheap is the problem Of the day, and he
who solves it will have done great and patriot
ic service for his fellow men. Ihe Ola Line
Companies are certainly safe when nonestiy
managed but their rates are so high, That only
the rich can afford TO carry such an amount as
would provide for falGily, while the great mass
of men, and those, too, whose families most neeo
protection, are compelled 20 go without lnsur-
ance or seek it in the assessment companies or
secret orders The fact that these cheaper insti-
tutions are to-day furnishing more insurance
than all the Old Line companies combined, SHOWS
how eager are the mass Of citizens for insurance
that is within reach of their mean. While these
orders and corporations are furnishing insurance
cheap enough yet at best, they can only pe
looked upon as temporary expedients and not al
together satisfactory. BUTT is plain, that some
where between the old line and assessment plans
there must be a middle ground, which is not
only safe. but just and fair TO aU parties.
THE INTER-STATES LIFE ASSOCIATION
of Staunton, Va, has sought earnestly and hon
estly to find this middle ground. In this search
they have, at large expense, consulted and en-
ployed the foremost actuaries and insurance eX-
perts in this country, and upon their recommen-
dation have adopted line of rates which is en-
tirely safe. and yet is in the reach of every
thrifty and industrious man who desires to pro-
tect his family against his death.
TO ascertain this safe rate, they added to the
actual death cost experienced by the old line com
panies an ample reserve and then a reasonable
amount for expenses and profits. but so limited
as to compel economical management. SO plain
and fair and popular are its methods that over,
three millions of business was done in the first
eight months work. Its rates are fixed and
must be paid, deaths no deaths, but are divided
into two, four, or six payments year, as may
best suit the convenience of the applicant.
Active Agents wanted in South Carolina.
